I invite reader comments on my new e-book “For a United America – An Agenda For Change” available for free download at www.aamerica.us.

The book hypothesizes that the political challenges faced by the United States will not go away, regardless of which presidential candidate is chosen, because the political system itself has been weakened and the people have lost confidence in it. Unless the integrity of the political system is enhanced, the issues facing the nation are unlikely to be resolved.

The book pinpoints the disconnects that exist between the constituents and their representatives, and how partisan forces prevent progress on the issues. It outlines a comprehensive agenda for change that can strengthen the political system with the active support of the people, discusses how power-sharing arrangements in Congress can improve its outlook, and suggests how various political protocols can be strengthened to deal with political emergencies.

I have dedicated the book to the firefighters, the police, and the emergency personnel who helped him escape 9/11. I have submitted the book to the presidential candidates for their response, but they have not responded.
